Can #liberals really not tell the difference between #leftwing & #rightwing criticisms of #Democrats?
A #rightwinger would say something stupid like " #Dems suck because they're secret #Marxists", or something like that.
Whereas a #Marxist would be like "Dems suck because they're NOT Marxists".
Now, to be very clear: I know a lot of really dedicated #progressives, #anarchists, and #socialists as well as full on #communists and #Marxists. I can work with all of them! We're generally pulling in the same direction. Hell, I have #liberal tendencies myself. It's hard not to when you're basically a product of the upper-middle-class, as I have to admit that I am*. But I've never been comfortable ID'ing with any one ideology.
*with an insulating layer of hippie thanks to my parents :)
#Trump thinks there's #Marxists on #RadioFreeAsia !?
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1968, during the #May68 events in Paris, #Marxists and #anarchists erected barricades in response to police violence on the 6th. Street battles followed, and on 13 May 2/3 of French workers began a #GeneralStrike. We must recover this spirit of defiance.
Any #Marxist is better at critiquing #Marx than any anti #communist, I can tell you that for certain. Cos #Marxists can give actual reasons why, anti-communists always resort to attacks on his character cos they can't debunk the theory.
#Marxism does not call for "equal distribution". Marx dismissed it as a utopian idea. Yet every #debate bro uses "equal distribution" as a "gotcha" argument against #Marxists to describe to us how #socialism "can't work".
The people screaming for a “popular front” are liberals. History tells us what happens w/ these coalitions.
We need a “united front” of #communists, #anarchists, #marxists #leninists, #abolitionists, #antifascists, etc. #Libs are excluded
Don’t rely on people who will be peacefully clapping as we get taken out by the state
The state is nothing but an instrument to brutally enforce inequality. Not only economic inequality as the #Marxists like to think but also political inequality, between those that decide and those that execute their wishes.
Just generally calling it an institution of oppression leaves doubt, because in the minds of many there are states that appear not oppressive, because people have been conditioned to accept inequality as is and will not challenge their state.
You know how all the #leftists #commies #marxists warned us about #oligarchs and
Their shitfuckery for decades?
Yeah, that.
hey #histodons and others (#marxists and #anarchists and #criticaltheorists) what's your favorite book on the movements surrounding/following/constituting May '68?
Not just #Marxists, of course -- this understanding of class is also present for #anarchists and other #socialists.
Meanwhile, American #liberals are still trying to break class #solidarity with their #MiddleClass fraud to leave us under domination of #conservative #oligarchy.
#Marxists are more afraid of being denounced as true marxists by their peers than having the courage to produce, revise, or denounce theory. With such cowards in the top level of a hierarchical movement to change the world no wonder we are in the bottom of the ditch with no way out.
Then we have #anarchists, who can coexist, half being anti-communist the other half silently incorporating classical Marxism and generic class theory.

Remember: It's not that they're trying to make sense of it. They're hoping for you to react and spread around what they said/want.
You're doing what they want. #PETA #Marxists
@Strandjunker
Ahh, but Donald #Trump *can* recognise #fascists, as well as #Marxists. And he's gonna lock 'em all up. So that's OK then.
The depth of ignorance in the US is a prime factor driving the #neofascist right, from the #JohnBirchSociety in the '60 to the #MAGACult to-day. Case in point: Democrats are far to the right on economics, but GOPers call them "#Marxists" and use Hitlerian anti-socialist rhetoric.
"Hamas are ISIS" is annoyingly stupid but "the PFLP is ISIS" is fascinatingly deranged … this site says "Many Palestinians came to Iraq to fight in the insurgency and many stayed on with ISIS. This flag came with a lot of Iraqi OIF items."
The PFLP defending the Ba'athists from the Great Sheytan makes sense, but then it's weird, they're Marxists like Rojava but Rojava were on team #USA which they'd definitely not go for… a few probably ended up in ISIS because ISIS sucked in a huge array of misfits, but it's not a match for them joining on mass.
If any stayed I think they'd just be attacking the Americans while there were enough people shooting at each other for that to be nearly socially acceptable? Because "I don't care if we already lost, let's keep shooting" seems like their style?
Which I suppose if you're an American soldier, looks like they're ISIS?
